Chauhan Ale & Masala House (Thanksgiving Edition) – Nashville, TN

As Thanksgiving got closer and closer, we realized that we would not have any kids home for the holiday and we had no other obligations, sSo we left town. We remembered hearing on the Biscuits and Jam podcast (from Southern Living, a podcast which I highly recommend) episode with Maneet Chauhan that her Chauhan Masala […]

Chez Fonfon – Birmingham, AL

Pretty much ever since I’ve had a food list, Chez Fonfon has been on it (I added it from Southern Living’s list of the best restaurants in the South from August, 2014).  And this French restaurant, from Frank Stitt of Highlands Bar & Grill fame, open since 2000, was on the list for, oddly, what […]

12 Bones Smokehouse – Asheville, NC

As the pandemic changed most people’s plans, it also changed ours.  Early in the year, one of our camping friends called and said, “if we want to make reservations to camp in Maine around the 4th of July, the six month window opens today!”  So the planning began – reservations in Acadia National Park, then […]

Butcher Paper BBQ – Opelika, AL (Quick Bite)

  Camping with our kids over at Providence Canyon, we were discussing lunch options and thought we’d head over to Opelika, to Bow & Arrow for lunch.  One of us loves the barbecue and the other loves Memaw’s Eclairs.  But when we got to Bow & Arrow, they were closed.  I had checked the hours […]
